Subject: Paint Code For SOS Gold Demonstartor

HiYa Gang-FYI -Tony Jacobs wrote in the current issue of the Ford-Fordson Collectors Association JOURNAL, Fall 2015, Volume 22 Issue 3 that he researched the paint code used on Ford Gold Demonstrator Tractors and found it was the same one used on the 1959 gold Lincoln automobiles. It is:

That's a number I might need next year or two away. Thank you. Currently the 881D is next on the on the project list. I have engine parts being delivered and most the machine work is done. Now if i was past the 10 pound weight limitation, I would be working on it. Grr. . . . .

Obviously, the Martin Senour numbers I have listed do not match the one in the Ford-Fordson collector article. This probably means another paint line/material (i.e. a different type of lacquer or enamel) was referenced. And regretfully, these numbers won't help with today's formulations other than to be able to find an old color chip to attempt a match with. I do have a few additional resources to check, though, to narrow down what the Lincoln color/Ford M-# was.
